About Us

The mission of A Different Path Mental Wellness is to provide mental health services that are uniquely client centered. While we recognize that traditional in office therapy can be very effective for some, others might want to try something different. The focus of our practice is to listen to our clients’ needs and tailor our services to meet those needs in a flexible, comfortable manner.
Wondering what this might look like for you? We have some ideas. We have two office locations where we can provide traditional, in office therapy, however, we are not tied down to an office space. If you would prefer that your therapist come to your home, office or meet you at your favorite walking trail, we are also available to do that.
In addition to varying therapy settings, we offer a wide range of services that might be most helpful during different seasons of life. For example, we can provide in home mediation for family meetings, parenting support, meal or grocery support for those stepping down from higher levels of care or assistance in situations during which clients anticipate heightened anxiety.
In addition to non-traditional therapy, we also offer both traditional and non-traditional settings for psychological assessment.
At A Different Path, we believe in a personalized approach to mental health. Our experienced providers are available to support people suffering as a result of trauma, mood, life transitions, body image distress, interpersonal conflict, and anxiety disorders.
Assessment can be fun! We think so anyway. A Different Path offers comprehensive diagnostic assessment necessary for the diagnosis of ADHD, IQ testing (including kindergarten assessment), and more. Assessments are offered in office, or if a different setting would be best, alternatives are available.
If you are interested in psychological assessment but not sure we can meet your needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We would be happy to help you or assist you with finding someone better equipped to answer your assessment questions.
